Yes~ SMASH is coming again this August! A quick look at their programme outline and you know it’s another exciting year of competitions, karaokes, Gunpla building, Maid Cafe and fun! Check out the their ticketing and event list details at their website.

" Now in its seventh year, Sydney’s leading Japanese popular culture convention is gearing up for its biggest year yet, promising another packed day of cosplay, workshops, games and guest panels.

SMASH! 2012 saw record crowds of more than 6,200 people attending the event. Amongst the crowd were avid cosplayers, manga and anime fans, and special Japanese voice-acting guests such as Yuko Miyamura (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Miki Shin-ichiro (Bleach, Initial D, Gundam 00) and Sakura Tange (Cardcaptor Sakura).

“SMASH! is a Japanese popular culture convention that is for everyone - not just manga and anime fans. This year we hope to bring something different to the table and Miss Momoi is the perfect guest to commence our guest list for SMASH! 2013.”

The invited guests this year are Masakazu Morita (森田 成一),  Haruko Momoi (桃井 はるこ), Matsubara Hidenori and LOVERIN TAMBURI !
